Well, I guess you gotta strike while the iron's hot. 🤔
I will not watch anything FIFA related if this goes through
Boycott FIFA.
The regional Fifa bodies need to leave and form another group with a different leadership.
Wow . Kushners and trump want fifa now ?
Infantino is selling FIFA 😂
About time UEFA create its own world cup.
That this is happening so soon after making over 10 billion dollars at the World Cup by doubling revenue from the last World Cup makes zero sense. The level of greed coming out of FIFA needs to be brought under control thank you UEFA for speaking out but all the over governing bodies need to be as forceful in their pushback.
Sure, makes sense. Just let certain folks to get the smell of money, and good by to common folks.
The 211 members football associations should allow this to go through and let those greedy American investors put their billions of investments in. Then, once it’s a done deal, all those member football associations should walk away from FIFA and form their own world football governing body and world cup. That would make FIFA worthless and all those greedy investors, including Infantino will get a taste of their own medicine. Simple!

The World Cup was barely watchable with the rampant commercialisation, “hydration” breaks, half time “entertainment”…if this goes ahead they’ve lost me forever
As soon as you hear the name Kushner combined with "deals", you know there must be more than a chance of untraceable and unaccountable financial activity involved….
So, Sepp Blatter isn't so bad afterall~~~~~~~😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
So… Enough to ban infantino from anything related to football yet?
They can't help themselves, can they. Greedy zios
FIFA CAN EASILY RAISE $US20M ON THEIR OWN !! ….. NO TO THE PRIVATIZATION OF FIFA !!
And the grift goes on…..
Ticket prices are already out of reach for most people; I fear that Moroccans will not be able to buy tickets in 2030 to attend the World Cup in their own country.
SICKENING. GRIFT NEVER STOPS WITH THE TRUMPS.
Damn, soccer is expensive huh?

DON’T do it! Never trust a Jew to handle sports. They will rig it.
Just make Trump the FIFA president for life and have done with this hypocrisy! That's what it's all about isn't it?!
It's time for a Rebel Alliance.
Europe just keeps taking Ls. First a lob sided trade deal and now the US is taking over football. Where are the Europeon leaders?
